- It was a pleasure to have the Street Triple RS on loan from Triumph for a while. During that time I put a few thousand miles on it and got a few opinions. Here is what I thought of the bike after using it as my daily rider!

*highfive to the dudes over and Triumph for allowing me the opportunity to check this bike out for a while!

I bought this bike basically because of you, Chase! You're hands down one of the best moto vloggers on UA-cam :) #TriumphAmerica - give Chase more bikes!
You're absolutely right about this bike asking for more on every ride. It's just SO confidence inspiring.
I actually love the bug eye headlights.
CasterRides , you like looking like you’re riding a bug-eyed motorcycle?
Still haven’t grown on me
@@chivalrous_chevy1163 Same people crying about that wouldnt buy it also with round ones
I have an MT09 and recently rode the street triple. Street Triple quality and rideability superior in every respect IMO. My friend who also has an MT09 and rode the street triple had the same opinion and is actually trading his mt09 for a street triple this week.
Cris Cutter I own a 2018 MT09 (redesign) and have ridden the speed triple. To me, the rideability (throttle, input etc) is the same. The triumph feels lighter and a little more “centered”. I got off of it feeling good about saving 3-4 thousand dollars for a bit more bang for my buck. So, the opposite of your experience. Just throwing that out there for anyone checking out your comment. You may be comparing the original MT09 which was a bit less.. refined. Haha
I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple .
Cuz :
Such a beautiful sound , the exhaust sound changes as the rev increases , from sophisticated in the low to the roaring in the high ,
Mechanically (a mechanical engineer here) , and as a bike enthusiast, 3 Cyls are the best when it comes to power delivery, low end torque + top end rush , and due to triumphs T-plane crankshaft (perfect secondary balance) this thing revs very high for a engine that size , and reaches redline quicker than any I4...
I've plenty experience, owned an R1 (sold last year and got a cycle), r6, zx 10r, the busa, Zh2, RSV4, panigale, cbr 1000, and z900 , daytona 675, street triple 675RS,
(owned all these for a while and traded these ) RE bikes,and what not , but i find three cyls the best among inline 4s and 2s (Vs are better ). (Except some radicals i4s ).
After riding the R1 ( snappy af) , it teaches a lot, and now I'm basically not scared of any bike , i can ride any other bike fearlessly because of the teachings i got from the R1 , and after riding a long time in an R1 , always moving fast even in the streets , i eventually got bored, cuz of the power delivery, it's pretty bad , that's why even though i sold it , i was crying my way home back....
Cuz i had to help buy a house, but , now I'm looking to buying a Trident 660, or a GT 650. For more relaxed riding, cuz i always rode balls to the walls with the R1 , and now i wanna go safe.
Thanks for the review, I just bought a street triple Rs, even though I'm not wrapped on the looks, the riding experience is what counts and it's great.
I have hard time watching videos about the Street Triple.They make me want another one. I bought one in 09 and just loved it. It was the best bike that I have ever had. My 09 developed several oil leaks and that was the only reason I got rid of it. At 65, I still want another one but my garage is way to full of bikes now. Too many bikes and not enough time.I know, you only live once.
People always criticize the price. Welcome to life Boys, you get what you pay for!
sometimes you get more sometimes you get less....
Zalonka that’s just stupid. Sometimes you do. Other times u don’t.
The government needs to protect local industries
I've got one on the bike shop floor waiting for me. Deposit is down, clear armour on it. Just waiting for loan to clear. So pumped to take it home.
Love it, have an RS. Spot on about "pushing" the bike more than you thought so. Great review!
One of the nicest looking and sounding bikes I have ever seen, would love to ride one one day
Nice long term in-depth review. I would have love to know more about the cost of ownership. Buying the bike is fairly easy but what comes along down the line is usually my biggest concern.
Regular typical annual service intervals (oil essentially) and a 12,000 mile major service ($800~). Triumphs have a great track record for reliability and being user friendly. I've been on quite a few!
Most bikes are pretty reasonable to maintain, as long as you don't abuse them and keep the shiny side up...and don't puncture 3 tires in a year and a half like I did. It's things like that that start making the costs add up
Michael hayes “Triumphs have a great track record for reliability”. Ahahahaha, good one!
These things are not particularly reliable, especially in the electronics department...
@@michaelhayes5601 lmao man well said.
Bought my triple last month :) you were a big influence on that purchase. Keep up the great content!
Thank you for the long term review Chase! This gives me a very good idea about the bike. After a test ride last summer, I'll be picking up my street triple next month!
According to the Triumph website, it is "ride by wire" throttle. Very enjoyable videos you are putting out.
11:39 an Alfa Romeo 4c
Man I love this bike, i plan to buy it within 2years
costs nearly 3k dollars more here, excluding taxes lol
Stwitching from supersport to naked, and this is one bike i'm considering. Would be nnice to have a bike you can ride a bit longer without back aches.
3 cylinder 😎👌😌. Plan on getting a XSR900 after I pay my truck off 😍
Can't believe it's been 6 months since you had it Chase :O
Picked mine up Monday. Can't wait for the weather to break!!!
One great trick for the shaky mirrors is to flip them down and angle them enough so your little and ring finger can just touch it. When shaky you just put those fingers on the back of the mirrors. Very intuitive and effective. perfect mirror image without changing hand position.
Wizard!
I really like triumph bikes. One of my personal faves is the Bonneville T100. Love the review though!
Great review Chase! I love my 2013 ST R! Guess what my next bike will be! Thanks, great job, keep it up! Merci from Montreal!
Speed triple?
I'm just 21 (yes i think that's young), and I've ridden R1,CBR1000RRR-SP, ZH2, Ducati Panigale V4, Daytona 675r, R6, Ninja ZX 10, ninja Zx6, Ninja 300, RE 350,Himalayan,650s, t100, and speed triple, i had owned a R1, but sold it for other reasons and investments, and got a cycle instead of the bike, and now i am looking forward to getting a Trident 660 , or the Triumph Speed triple, cuz even after riding all i have ridden, ( even been to track a few times) is that no matter what, 200hp is not needed , and all these bikes are great, these 200hp r1s , Panigales, e.t.c, are pretty useless from ergonomics, useless low end, in the street what i suggest is the street triple, or the speed triple .

I totally agree with him saying that this bike shits on sportbikes on daily type of riding! I have a Ducati 1098 and I’m looking at getting a sport naked cause it’s more fun 95% of the time. Sportbike is mainly fun on sporty canyon runs & race tracks.
Been riding the Street Triple RS for a while and love it so far.. I've had some issues with the gearbox though and I'm curious to know if any of you experienced this as well.. It usually happens when I downshift multiple times in short succession and what happens is that the gearbox get's stuck between gears. The easiest fix is to pull the clutch halfway, rev slightly and shift gear again and then it gets back into place. It doesn't happen all the time, (3-5 times during a 100 miles) but it's annoying when it does!
Try mixing half Valvoline synthetic motorcycle oil and half Valvoline regular motorcycle oil. A great looking motorcycle- the little fairing above the bug-eye headlights makes them look better and an added small windshield (I like the National brand) would look better. However, a MT-07 or more comfortable Tracer 900GT might be more reliable and cost effective.
That was a hell of a good job on that review. Great work man.
Thanks for doing such an in-depth review of this bike. Makes me want to upgrade to one even more. Considering I'm on a 2015 Street triple RX 675 it's a little hard to justify though. If the RS came it white/red though... it would already be in the garage. :D
I will add to Chase's comments about city riding. The bike's power doesn't really kick until higher in the rev range, but it still has PLENTY of power down low, especially in the lower gears. Putting it in sport mode definitely gives a much more jerky throttle response; I typically keep it in street mode when I'm riding around the city and sport mode when I'm riding in the twisties. You can also turn off the traction control in the "rider" mode, so if you want to be a hooligan and do wheelies, you can turn TC off and give the bike its full grunt.
How about the engine heat, does it warm you a lot inside the city?
awesome video Chase!! That is my dream bike and i still have to wait 8 months before i can get one the wait is so painfull :D
Zenth_24 | So, did you get one yet?
Now?
Nice review Chase. I am new owner of a '18 765RS. Had the bike for just a couple days and it's amazing. Just wondering, what is your phone mount on the video?
Chase i love you, I am now going to buy this bike. ive followed you since the Ducati build.. P.S. Im from England.
Can you ask Triumph for a Tiger? I would love to see you do some long term time on a Tiger.
always loved your videos. would like to watch till the end but around 19:00 it became phenomenal.
I really think I like triples for naked bikes. I always have loved 4 cylinders,but for the naked motorcycles, it probably makes more sense to use a triple

“Ass half life”... the best C2Wism since “nimbility”
Love it! I still have the cash sitting here waiting on a new job so I can pull the trigger on a Street Triple R.
I'd be interested in seeing your reaction to the R since it's supposed to have a unique cam compared to the other models in the range in addition to having a more torque-biased engine map. And with your comments about the modes... would the R be the Goldilocks of the range?
Obviously that's my expectation since that's the one I've chosen to get, but I'd be interested to see what someone who's had the RS thinks.
From what I've read I would agree. If I get an opportunity to get some seat time on the R I'll have to let ya know.
Triumph are making great bikes!! ❤️ Check out the Sprint if your on the taller side, its got all the guts only in a larger frame.

Nice review Chase! I'm thinking of picking one up! The brembos on them are the m50's with adjustability on the level of play, something I haven't seen on many except the ducati superleggera and this one ? Found it odd u didn't mention that ? Is it not that big a difference?
I'm looking at a '17 675 R at one dealer and a '18 R at my local dealer. Insurance difference between the 2 is about $400 more a year for the '18
Little behind the game on responding here, but excited to watch the vid again now that I've one on order :)
i love everything about this bike but the headlamp.
Turn the mirrors round so they match the head lights shape and they don’t vibrate nearly as much.
Street Triple RS vs Daytona 675 R? :)
This engine is supposed to be in a new Daytona !!!!!
Triumph is supplying the new moto2 engines (ua-cam.com/video/ekyc8BBtTl4/v-deo.html for testing) so to 90% we will see a daytona with this engine
Oliver B not before 2020 in europe, maybe in the US. Atm theres no market for sportbikes within triumph
It is now :)
Im currently planning on my next bike, moving from an S2R 800 Ducati. Really considering a Street or Speed triple from around 2010. My concern about the Speed is the weight. Its bloody heavy at 218 kg. I like a more flickable bike and im not a very large rider. On the other hand, the extra power and torque on the Speed vs the Street is also tempting. DECISIONS!
Best long term review breakdown i have ever seen man congratulations you just sold me on the Street Triunph
Other than the protruding bug-eyed headlights, I really like this bike
That was a very rare Alfa Romeo 4C my friend
The white sports car you were gawking at is an Alfa Romeo 4C coupe.
Super vid, thank you so much from Montreal!
Try the BMW R1200R. I test rode one the other day and loved it.
Did 865 miles in one day with a gel seat on my street triple 675 with no problem
11:40 that is an Alfa Romeo 4C coupé
Chaseontwowheels,
Got enough hurls out there !
I wonder if I can easily take some headlights off the first Street triple and put them on this bike
Will The Thrill Motodemic makes a single Led headlight for it. Expensive though.
Great review!Thanks your great work! Love its super powerful engine and such good performance!!
love your bike bro
You and yummi needs to do another riding video
It was an Alfa Romeo 4C Dan! C'mon
First!! You da man chase love your vids
Thought we were calling the 5th mode Hooligan mode. From the review of the dash video.
Owned the bike for abot 15 days now did abt 900 kms ..nd evrything u were saying was making sense ... evry damn thing and i have also thought abt it ....
Chaseontwowheels,
Home come you do not go all the way to the line at a stop ?
They teach us here to goto the white line with our front tire on it.
I like the tail on a Triumph, my father had a Triumph which if still had it would be worth a pocket full of change right now.
I think u should have changed the modes because it automatically changes slight response times as I have been told on the bike
Thanks for the awesome vid.
You've found another subscriber
You started talking about using the bike around the city... I was really hoping to hear your thoughts about the suspension. When the bike launched, a lot of the journalists said the ride was too rough for daily use, and that the R would likely make the better commuter. I have a 2009 R, and after adjusting the suspension to a softer setting, daily commuting is totally manageable. Did you get there with the RS?
love triumph
Chase, what other bike would you say is perfect? My bike mechanic says Triumph is reliable on the terms of approaching Japanese quality, unlike the European bikes.
hey bud Nice video.. What kind of helmet are you wearing it looks very nice.!
I test rode a STS a few days back as the dealer in my city didnt have a RS test bike. The S model is also quite powerful and gives good power in low to mid rev ranges. The nissin were just spot on so I'm wondering how the brembo is gona be.
Bike is quite agile compared to the Monster 821 i tried a few days before. (Although love the way the monster looks over the RS, to be honest).
Really excited to get my hands on the RS and then probably go for it.
Interested to know the engine heat as the S was warming my thighs quite a bit inside the city so wondering how the RS would fare in that particular area?
It is a fantastic review chase, I loved it very much. can you please also review ktm 390 duke. I really like that bike and would like to know what you think about it !! 😁😀
Pranjal Gupta I think u will find better review of the Duke 390 a long term review with vikas rachmalla an Indian reviewer
the white car is a alfa romeo 4c chase :)
When are you going to start customising the Daytona?
Chase what jacket are you wearing in this video? It doesn't seem to be listed in the riding gear section of the description.
Hey chase , I got the same bike. I’m on my 2nd week of owning it but just quick question do you have any helmet suggestions for the transitioning sitting positions that provide great ventilation . I live in Miami fl so w.e is good in Georgia is great down here.
Juvierlin Moscoso variants have great air flow.
I live in Florida too, try the shark speed-r it's what I use.
I have Street Triple and very happy with my HJC
Juvierlin Moscoso agv k5
I live in Australia and we have similar weather to Miami
I recommend HJC Alpha 11 👌🏾
WIsh you would have told us more about the suspension stiffness. Getting mixed reports from people saying it is the stiffest thing ever on shit roads like we have in the north east.
What about in terms of the big bang 2014 r1? Which bike would have more mid range grunt?
1050 speed triple time
Sorry for the previous cut/paste error post. Hi Chase. Thanks a lot for your real-world and in-depth reviews. You’re a great resource in addition to the online cycle mag reviews that typically focus on just the positive aspects of bikes (manufacturer $$$). I’d appreciate your input and the youtubers input on my dilemma. I rode my first track day last summer on my CBR500R and loved the experience! I plan on riding several track days this year but I’m thinking about trading in my CBR for either a 2018 CBR600RR or the 2018 STR RS. For now, the new bike will be my only bike for commuting, fun and the track. I have about 15 years riding experience with Yamaha and Harley big cruisers as well as a Harley Nightster 1200. I initially was targeting the trading up to the 2018 CBR600RR but have long been interested in the RS and I guess my gut is now leaning to the RS. Your thoughts? Appreciate anyone’s inputs. Thanks and ride safe!
C2W How did the Icon Variant fair on the RS it being a naked bike? Was the wind bothersome on the highway?
Would you buy this over the Monster 821?
Keep going 👌 almost a million subs
Alex Schuster Almost just 250k more cuz its nothing
Hi Chase, I also have a 765 RS and noticed the wind issue at highway speeds
What is ur opinion on those windscreen extension plastic add-on that triumph make as an accessory.
Heard mix things
That some people say they work and others say they don’t.
I also agree about long distance riding with Triumph should have an accessory or aftermarket option for equipping the bike with cruise control..
Do you know of any good branded cruise controls that can be fitted?
David Evans I thing they don't provide that for the street triple but for the tiger form triumph has aftermarket parts or so I have seen online
Would you recomend me a tandart Street Triple or a Ducati 821? I'm considering both bikes for pruchase.
José Antonio Martínez your tandart triumph for sure.. Ducatis a crap to maintain
Under the bridge downtown...
Hello I have a new street triple rx 2015, where’s the best page to buy an Arrow exhaust?
Have you experienced higher oil consumption with the Triple than you normally get with Japanese bikes?
Hey chase can you review the new ninja 1000 plz ! thx
Cruise is an option I think..
I'm driving a bike with Brembo without abs, oh boy it stops quickly
No idea why you can't change TC settings on the go....if it's rainning you need to stop.
So Chase hasn't seen an Alfa 4c before. Interesting.
may i know the type of phone holder you're using? thank you in advance
thats a RAM mount..
Did you enjoy this bike more than the speed triple s?
The car was a Alfa romeo 4c
How would you compare this to the FZ09?
Is there any handlebar risers for it
I'm deciding between Street RS, Duc SuperSport and Monster... Hard choices
How does it fit tall riders? 6’4”
How does the suspension hold up on broken roads?
It's adjustable and top of the line. If the suspension of the RS isn't satisfactory, you'd probably have to buy an adventure bike like the BMW 1200 RS, because that's the only kind of bike that can handle worse roads than the RS suspension and every +12000 dollar bike for that matter.
